HP ProLiant BL680c Generation 5 (G5) Server Blade
Standard Features
Network Controllers
Four (4) embedded Gigabit Ethernet network adapter ports, plus (1) additional management network
adapter port:
Two (2) embedded NC373i Multifunction Gigabit Server Adapters with TCP/IP offload engine for
Microsoft Windows, iSCSI boot, and optional accelerated iSCSI
One (1) NC326i Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter
One (1) additional embedded 10/100 network adapter dedicated to iLO 2 management
NOTE: The Gigabit Ethernet adapters transmit from the server at 2000 Mbps, full duplex per port.
However, within a Linux environment, the speed can be reduced or "throttled" using a feature available
within the Linux operating system.
Once the adapter signal reaches the interconnect within the blade enclosure and communicates outside
the blade enclosure to the LAN, the blade interconnect uplink types and settings determine the cable
media, speed, duplex mode, and auto negotiation mode. Interconnects are available with Ethernet
uplinks supporting 10/100/1000T, 10/100/1000 SFP, 1000 SX fiber, and 10Gb speeds.
Multifunction Networking The embedded multifunction NC373i combines standard Gigabit Ethernet networking, TCP/IP offload
engine (TOE) acceleration for Windows, iSCSI boot, and optional accelerated iSCSI into a single
adapter.
TOE moves the processing of data in the TCP protocol stack from the server CPU to the network
card, freeing CPU cycles for other activities. With TOE, network communications are improved,
and server efficiency is increased. The NC373i offers TOE for Microsoft® Windows.
The iSCSI boot allows the BL680c G5 to boot from a remote operating system (OS) image
located on a storage area network (SAN) within a Red Hat or SUSE Linux environment. The
BL680c G5 uses an iSCSI firmware image (iSCSI boot option ROM) making the remote disk drive
appear as a local, bootable C: drive. The BL680c G5 is configured to connect to and boot from
the iSCSI target disk on the network and download the OS image from the iSCSI target disk. The
iSCSI boot option ROM is supplied by HP at no cost. The additional cost and mezzanine slot
usage of an add-in iSCSI HBA card is not required. Additionally, the HP iSCSI boot solution
includes scripts to significantly simplify the installation process.
I/O Expansion Slots
Three I/O expansion mezzanine slots; one Type I x4 PCIe (15 watts) and two x8 PCIe (25 watts).

Storage Controller
The BL680c G5 includes an integrated Smart Array P400i Controller. The P400i is an x8 PCI Express
serial attached SCSI (SAS) v1.0 embedded RAID controller and provides server performance and
reliability through its support of advanced SCSI technology and RAID capabilities. The P400i includes
256MB of 40-bit ECC protected cache and supports RAID levels 0 (striping) and 1 (mirroring).
The controller supports both SAS and SATA hard drives letting you deploy drive technology as needed to
fit your computing environment. The BL680c G5 provides two hot-plug drive bays for up to 1.0TB of SAS
and 500GB of SATA storage.
Providing high availability data cache retention, the Smart Array P400i supports two battery backed write
cache (BBWC) options:
BBWC for the existing 25MB cache.
Upgrade to 72-bit 512MB ECC protected cache with BBWC.
If additional direct or shared storage SAS or SATA drives are desired within the server blade enclosure,
the BL680c G5 supports the SB40c Storage Blade through use of the HP PCI Express Mezzanine PassThru Card installed in mezzanine slot 3. For additional information see the "Additional Options" section

Memory
NOTE: Memory configurations listed do not apply to "Factory Integrated Models".
NOTE: For a specific memory level, the best performance is achieved using a homogenous memory configuration.
DIMM installation guidelines:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
All memory must be PC2-5300 fully buffered DDR2 DIMMs operating at 667 MHz.
Both DIMM slots in a memory bank must be populated.
Banks must be populated in sequential alphabetic order, starting with bank A.
Both DIMMs in a memory bank must be identical. Install identical DIMMs as pairs only, starting with DIMM socket 1, bank A.
Standard memory and lower power DIMMs may be mixed within the same server, but not within the same memory bank (see
#4 above).
6. Low power DIMM kits save approximately 2 watts per server DIMM, plus any datacenter power savings resulting from reduced
cooling of heat dissipated from the lower server watt usage.
7. Multiple advanced memory protection (AMP) modes are supported based on fully buffered DIMM population and RBSU
selection. The server blade defaults to advanced ECC.
Standard Memory
8GB (2 x 4GB) of PC2-5300, FBD DDR2-667 ECC DIMMs
Standard Memory Plus Optional Memory
Up to 116GB of memory is available with the installation of optional PC2-5300, FBD DDR2-667 DIMM memory expansion kits.
Standard Memory Replaced with Optional Memory
Up to 128GB of memory is available with the removal of standard memory and the installation of optional PC2-5300, FBD DDR2667 DIMM memory expansion kits.
